Product Description
This Sanyo rice cooker and warmer is micro-computerized with multi-menu selections that allow you to make various kinds of rice. With it (and its fuzzy-logic controls and temperature settings) you can make white rice, rinse-free rice, mixed rice, sweet rice, sprouted brown rice, quick-cooking rice, brown rice and porridge. Use it, too, for steaming or slow-cooking soups and stews. The Sanyo micom rice cooker and warmer has a Titanium-coated, extra-thick, nonstick inner pot with a rounded bottom for maximum heat distribution. The inner pot also features a water fill line for rinse-free rice and sprouted brown rice. After cooking is complete, a Keep Warm function automatically kicks in to keep your dish warm until you're ready to serve. On the front of the Sanyo micom rice cooker and warmer is a clock and timer. The LCD clock and 24-hour, preset timer let you set it and go. The Cook/Reheat button keeps your rice in a keep-warm mode; it can be reheated in about five minutes and served as if it were freshly cooked. Included with your Sanyo micro-computerized rice cooker and warmer is a steaming tray for vegetables, a measuring cup, nonstick spatula and a multi-language instructional manual with recipes. A retractable cord keeps counters neat and the cord out of the way.

5 out of 5 stars This is an awesome addition to the kitchen!   October 16, 2008
A. Wenske (Texas)
I received this rice cooker as a wedding gift from our wedding registry and we are extremely happy! I love the fact that you can do all of your cooking in the pot, no additional pots and pans to clean up. I did purchased the Ultimate Rice Cooker book once I received the gift because I was a little unsure on how to use it. Although it may contain recipes with ingredients I don't always keep in our pantry, it really helped me utilize my cooker. You can experiment with just about anything in it. I haven't found many restrictions. My only complaint would be the odor retention. I hand wash both of the removable pieces yet the odor can be very strong. I leave the unit's top open sometimes and that seems to help. Other then that, I haven't any complaints; My husband has enjoyed everything I have produced from it, brown rice, jasmine rice, couscous, risotto...and with all different kinds of ingredients!


4 out of 5 stars No water splashing out!   September 6, 2008

I love this rice cooker for the way it looks and for the way it's User Interface is designed too! I used to hate my older rice cookers because it used to splash a lot of water while cooking and I cleaning all that starch water on the countertop was always irritating. This cooker doesn't splash even a drop!

I also liked the way it has this retractable chord in it making the countertop look less messier

I bought this rice cooker thinking that I would take a step up in quality. It looks nice, it has a thick titanium coated, nonstick bowl, a carry handle, and a retractable cord. These are all nice features. However, how do you explain to your friends that you bought a $100 rice cooker that only makes good rice if you have mastered the art of figuring out how much water to add, and that takes twice as long to cook, 40 min! It took me over a year but I finally gave it up and went and got a cheap cooker that makes the rice great every time in half the amount of time.

My model is a ECJ-T10EKJ made for the Japanese market, but very comparable to the functions of the ECJ-D55S.

When reading reviews that go on and on, I smell SPAM. No one is paying me to say that this is a great rice cooker and that buying a cheaper cooker, like the Aroma, only will end in tears.

The keep warm function is the best feature; the rice stays moist, followed by a lid that won't slam close, and finally the programmable cooking feature; it keeps me from forgetting to turn on the rice cooker for supper.

Note:Brown rice is best if you let it soak for about 8 hours, then cook. The short grain brown rice is my favorite type.

We purchased the Sanyo rice cooker when it first came out because of the titanium rice pot. Having used it frequently we eventually wore it out, so to speak, therefore the need to purchase the newest model.
Very happy with it. Have used it several times now and the rice does come out great each time.
